With its blend of customs and worlds, shaped by a range of external forces, Mayotte is at the heart of Hamza Lenoir's creative work, which is conceived as an introspective tribute and a meditation on the island’s future. Accompanied by the performer Inssa Hassna (known as "Jesus") and the musician Nacho Ortega, the Mahoran artist opens up multiple perspectives – traditional, cultural, ritualistic, religious – and constructs a living kaleidoscope. The stage welcomes words and songs; it becomes a place of exchange and transmission around the island’s political, economic, and social history. The body of Jesus, his skin and his face, are like a page, and the island is a vast territory where dance unfolds. Hamza Lenoir's first piece, Le corps de Jésus, is produced by Cie Kazyadance – Le Royaume des Fleurs in Dzaoudzi, an offbeat art factory and a meeting place and resource centre for a new generation of creators.
